“Standing on the moon looking back at Earth-this lovely place you just came from-you see at the colours, and you know what they represent. Having left the water planet, with all that water brings to earth in terms of colour and abundant life, the absence of water and atmosphere on the desolate surface of the moon gives rise to a stark contrast.”
– Buzz Aldrin, Astronaut
Omega has been a pioneer of rich maritime legacy. Its positive contribution towards the conservation of natural resources has always been recognised worldwide. The deep blue waters not only serve as a subject of inspiration for watchmakers but also an important resource for the mankind. In an effort to spread a positive word amongst the people about the value of these natural resources, Omega strives to craft something new and extraordinary.
The brand started the Good Planet Foundation, as a way of directing their effort through a correct channel. Select watches crafted by Omega go in to the direct contribution of the foundation. From the time of the conception of the first dive watch in 1932 to the production of the award winning environmental film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Omage has been deeply rooted to the cause and has made it one of the defining elements of the brand. The Planet Ocean series is a milestone in this effort.
“…an innovative wristwatch that servers as a tribute to the GoodPlanet Foundation and the positive work it does for our environment…”
The Omega Planet Ocean timekeeper is a sincere commitment towards environmental conservation. A part of the proceeds from this watch are pledged to the full funding of the project to conserve mangroves, sea grasses and coral reefs in the oceans of Southeast Asia. The design itself depicts the striking colour of the sea. It is an innovative wristwatch that acts as a tribute to the efforts by Omega toward the Good Planet Foundation and also towards the environment.
